AM: Kim and I were wanting to do a Payson downhill run this morning but we weren't able to come up with a cost-effective or time-effective way to get it done. So instead we decided to torture ourselves by running up/down Loafer - this time past the gate and all the way to the cabins so we could "enjoy" the insanely steep last mile. Once you get to a certain steepness it almost hurts as much going down as going up. At least if you make it to the top you get rewarded with a drink at a drinking fountain. I did probably 8-10 striders along the way during the uphill so that's why my miles are higher than Kim's. Ali L joined us for some of the the uphill and all of the downhill miles, it was nice to have her join us and chat a bit. Legs feeling pretty good after the 20-miler on Saturday. Overcast and a bit muggy today. Felt a few raindrops at the beginning but that was about it.
Ave pace 9:40. PM: Ran 5-miles EagleView hills with Nate and Bill. Started out easy but then pushed the last couple of miles to get under 7-min pace so I'll count them as MP miles. Legs still feeling good so that makes me happy.
Ave pace 7:45.
